He gives a 25% discount on the bill to army personnel. He believes he should not earn a profit from them.

After finishing his diploma in computer science, Avinash took Hide Out restaurant on lease as he was more interested in running a business. He said, “My ambition is to serve the nation. I expect others to follow me and contribute a small amount of their earning to the army. I’ve also kept a charity box which will be given to the society on January 26, 2017. Since soldiers are often dangerous situations, it’s one way of appreciating their effort. TNN
